It is a sad day. They are knocking down the old community center and the remnants of the old store that sat on the corner.

Fred Gasser was born north of Pierce City in 1891 and attended St. Mary's School. In 1904, at age 12, Fred maintained a workbook which included graded letters, arithmetic and dictation. He writes of his neighbor, Adam Landoll, and of his sick cousin from Carterville, near Webb City. Fred went on to be a physician and doctor in Cherryvale, Kansas.
